Really said to see how SF style leadership has destroyed a once beautiful city that is falling into the pits of lawlessness and financial disaster. Mind-blowing how they can keep re-election the same over and over and over again when the results keep getting worse and worse and now and businesses are closing up shop and are fleeing. Why do so many other cities and voters continue to vote for politicians trying to run on a similar model like SF's politicians? It is scary how fast SF has declined.

Imploding? That’s a laugh.

SF is run by democrats who pas and implement only the best policies, so we all know it cannot be true SF is imploding.

OP must be another dumb MAGAite. I’m sure SF is enjoying its best years ever!

"Liberal" is a cloak for greed in California, not an actual lived ideal. It's hypocrisy and abandonment of the vulnerable where it really counts.

Its unsafe. They need to do something about safety to clean it up so businesses can still do business there and people can live in the homes.

They HAVE done something: they defunded the SF police, like everyone should. Because of racism.

It’s really simple,

San Fran and Cali have some of the highest taxes in the country already. You raise taxes or tax “billionaires” more and they simply just move to Texas, Colorado. Even companies like Tesla have moved headquarters as well as dozens of others.



Gotta get over the notion that more taxing fixes problems. It’s how you spend the money that matters. If you waste the money or start promising billions of freebees like free medical and college for illegals, wasteful projects, so many other promises the state has made that can’t back up financially, Thai is what u get.

How much of San Francisco’s housing problem was caused by unregulated foreign money in real estate. We need to stop selling our country to other countries and non-citizens.

A few of you at the top of this thread sound angry and like you watch too much television.

Still sad that people would rather live in a liberal hellhole than where ever you live, OP? Housing prices don’t lie.

Lol.

As if zoning restrictions and ludicrous policies like preventing the SF govt from raising property taxes on residents paying 1971 levels of taxes don't play a major role.

The rest of the country needs to send SF money for taking the entire country’s homeless populations.
Those vagrants weren’t born in CA. SF needs to start shipping them back to the heartland or wherever they come from.

It's a free country. People are allowed to go wherever they want. No one owes SF anything. Vagrabys wouldn't go there in the first place is SF never condoned open drug use, severely punished quality of life crimes/stealing/etc., and didn't try to hand out a whole bunch of free stuff after taxing the crap outta productive citizens.
